Makenzie James Makenzie James 6'0" | SF Murphy | 2028 State AL impacts the game with elite athleticism, length, and instincts, often tilting possessions without needing the ball in her hands. At 6’0” with long limbs and quick-twitch explosiveness, she covers ground effortlessly and overwhelms space on both ends. Averaging 11.7 points and 6 rebounds per game on 50% shooting, she scores efficiently by picking her spots and finishing plays above and around defenders. What truly separates James is her defensive presence — posting 4.2 steals per game (5th in her class) by reading eyes, jumping lanes, and using her length to erase passing windows. She plays passing lanes like a free safety, turning anticipation into instant offense. James is a high-ceiling wing whose athletic tools and defensive impact drive winning.
